The comediennes look gorgeous in glittering gold dresses – Fey in a plunge V-neck version with cap-sleeves and Poehler in a halter-neck design – as they laugh and joke around in a humorous video promo spot, which was released along with the Golden Globe nominations yesterday.

‘Amy Poehler and I are very excited to be hosting the Golden Globes this year,’ Fey announces in a clipped, Old Hollywood accent.

‘Because it’s the greatest celebrity party slash awards show in all of Hollywood,’ Poehler chimes in.

‘In fact, we’re so excited we are going to be speaking in classic Hollywood voices for all our banter,’ says Fey, with Poehler adding: ‘And talking like this will never get old!’ before swiftly confessing: ‘Wow, that got old fast.’

The two gal pals have often worked together over the years since meeting as members of Second City improvisational troupe in Chicago in the 1990s, and we’re excited about what this duo have in store for us when the awards show airs on 13 January, 2013.

‘The unparalleled comedic timing of Tina and Amy will surely have viewers wanting to tune-in to see them in action,’ Hollywood Foreign Press Association president Takla-O’Reilly has said of the two co-hosts.

Not only are the funny ladies in charge of the occasion, they are both also nominated for the Best Comedy Actress gong, Poehler for her role in Parks and Recreation and Fey for her character on 30 Rock.
